The half-life of a stream of radioactive particles moving along a straight path with a constant kinetic energy of $4 \text{ eV}$ is $1 \text{ minute}$. The percentage of particles which decay before travelling a distance of $3.6 \text{ km}$ is (Mass of the radioactive particles $= 3.2 \times 10^{-21} \text{ kg}$ and charge of the electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$).

Half-life of a radioactive substance is $20 \text{ min}$. The time between $20 \%$ and $80 \%$ decay will be: (in $\text{ min}$)

The radiation emitted by a radioactive substance with a half-life of $30 \ min$ is measured by a Geiger-Muller counter. If the count rate drops to $5 \ \text{disintegrations/sec}$ in $2 \ \text{hours}$, find the initial disintegration rate.

Two radioactive materials $X_1$ and $X_2$ have decay constants $10 \lambda$ and $\lambda$ respectively. If initially they have the same number of nuclei, then the ratio of the number of nuclei of $X_1$ to that of $X_2$ will be $1 / e$ after a time:

At $t = 0$,the counting rate from a radioactive source is $1600 \text{ counts/s}$,and at $t = 8 \text{ s}$,it is $100 \text{ counts/s}$. The counting rate at $t = 6 \text{ s}$ will be:
